Welcome to another edition of Poultry@Sydney!
This edition will include PRF's recent poultry health studies completed by
Associate Professor Peter Groves and his team; a profile on post-doc researcher
Dr Medhi Toghyani; and Prof. Mingan Choct will continue to discuss the key challenges that arose from the think-tank meeting hosted by PRF at the University of Sydney earlier this year.
In our
last issue, I identified the three key challenges as: people, collaboration and communication, and elaborated on the No. 1 Challenge, that is people. In this issue, I will discuss the No. 2 Challenge, i.e.,
Collaboration.
It is easy to label something “collaboration” but the collaboration our Think Tank Meeting talked about is the type that is genuine and mature, focusing on give to get and share to succeed; the type where one plus one equals more than two. The extra bits resulting from the collaboration benefit the entire network and they cannot be obtained without collaboration; it can be know-how that solves the issues of the day; it can be new ideas that lead to the next major scientific breakthrough or industry transformation.
